Mr. Pat Lordan:

Those units investigate the more complex cases. The less complex ones are investigated throughout the country. In recent years there have been many successes in investigating all types of insurance fraud throughout the country. It is not true that we are not capable or do not have the capacity. Some 132 gardaí have been trained over the past three years alone, 44 every year. They are not all dedicated to fraud 100% of the time. That is the world we live in. We must accept the challenges in front of us. The economic crime bureau cannot dedicate them to one type of fraud 100% of the time. Tomorrow morning a company might lose €2 million, in which case we will try our best to get that money back overnight or in the next few days. We have to prioritise what is in front of us. Those three investigations are working well and will progress further in the next few months.
